Cabarets- stand and sing at mics- can be done with ASCAP rights.  Piecing together full numbers that are blocked and choreographed with costumes has to go through each individual ...

It depends how you are presenting this review.   If you are doing a stand at a mic and sing, you may be able to just pay for ASCAP rights (assuming the piecesare covered by ASCAP).

I have used tracks a number of times. If you use a good company (I am particularly fond of MT Pit) they don't sound like karaoke tracks. They are the full score- including the underscoring- played by a full orchestra in a recording studio and do not have that "canned music" sound.  They are run  on ...
